Freedom park is the final resting place for all of South Africa’s fallen freedom fighters, ranging from the Koi-San to Apartheid heroes. The design is significant in its effort to consult widely with traditional healers, indigenous knowledge systems, political leaders, traditional structures and rural communities. This unique approach filtered into all aspects of the design process and helped define the parks architecture. Representing a small part of the museum complex, the vertical light poles that border the built forms of Freedom Park (illustrated in the artwork), arose from an African story of creation that suggests that the reed is a conduit to life and expresses a vital connection between the earth and the sky. The evocative light feature that attempts to relay this story has created a powerful image on top of the Salvokop hillside- a site that is surrounded by the large politically-charged buildings of Pretoria, South Africa’s capital.
